Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Take 10 internationally renowned curators and ask them to choose 10 of the world's best photographers: the result is Blink, a stunning Phaidon book containing hundreds of beautifully reproduced photographs by acclaimed photographers from all over the world. A "snapshot of the world of contemporary photography", Blink brings together curators as diverse as Marcelo Brodsky, Alasdair Foster, Shino Kuraishi and Simon Njami to introduce and write about "the kaleidoscope of ideas, approaches and techniques that is photography today".

Cleverly, the curators keep their comments on each of their chosen photographers to a minimum, allowing the photography to speak for itself. Artists are introduced by a very brief essay by their respective curators, followed by a short bibliography and four pages of photos. The geographical and artistic range of the collection is extremely impressive. From the worlds of fashion photography, represented by Tina Barney and Steven Klein's "daring and courageous" pictures of Brad Pitt, to the politically charged work of Milagros de la Torre, Manit Sriwanichpoom and Sanja Ivekovic's extraordinary images of contemporary female models juxtaposed with the titles of Second World War Resistance heroines, the collection reveals the sheer range of breadth of contemporary photography. Blink seamlessly embraces fashion, documentary and digital photography. In the work of Samuel Fosso and Diana Thorneycroft it captures the ways in which the camera is transforming how we understand our bodies, while the disturbingly banal photos of Tierney Gearon and Paul M Smith change the way we look at our everyday domestic world. These are just some of the wonderful photographers and images captured in this sumptuous book, which reveals the vibrancy of photography at the beginning of the 21st century.--Jerry Brotton



Product Description

"Blink" presents the work of 100 contemporary photographers, selected by ten international critics, curators and creative directors. As an exhibition in a book, this work showcases up-and-coming talent from around the world, enabling the reader to stay one step ahead of emerging trends in the fast-changing world of photography. Each curator was commissioned to choose ten photographers who have broken new ground on the international contemporary photography scene. Photographers such as Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Vik Muniz and Rineke Dijkstra, whom the selectors believe are set to become household names, are included, along with Tomoko Isoda, Shirana Shahbazi and Marc Asnin, who are gaining recognition for their innovative work and are about to emerge internationally. The photographers' pages are listed in A-Z order, featuring two double-page spreads of recent exemplary images, a short explanatory text from the curator, and biographical information. In a series of ten essays, the curators describe their decision-making process and reflect on the nature of contemporary photographic practice. In addition to the photographers, each curator has chosen an extract written since 1995 which they feel best illustrates the cultural context surrounding contemporary photography. The ten works produced in the book range from cultural studies to fiction, from criticism to journalism.
